Each morning (before our trip to VN) when I wake up to get ready for work I would sneak into JJ’s room and sit and watch him sleep for at least 10 minutes before heading out. I love watching him breathe in and out and seeing how relaxed and peaceful he is in his little crib. Now (after our trip to VN) when I wake up to get ready for work in the morning, JJ’s already wide awake and playing in the living room and daddy is lying on the living room floor watching him. This morning daddy happened to fall asleep… JJ was playing in the living room as usual but there were piles of baby wipes tissues everywhere and his clothes were all wet! Apparently he got into the baby wipes box and pulled out each tissue (the box was empty when I cleaned up the mess). As for him being wet, I guess he drank a lot of milk during the night and peed all over himself! Daddy was sleeping so I didn’t want to wake him up, so I got JJ and cleaned him up… I undressed him, gave him a quick shower and put on a new diaper and clean clothes. I found 2 wet dirty diapers on the floor as well, so I guess daddy changed him a few times during the night and was too tired to throw away the dirty diapers… so I cleaned all that up as well… hehehee… hubby is SOOO tired! Lucky for him it’s my weekend to take care of JJ at night, so hopefully he’ll get his sleep. It was just funny to see JJ making such a huge mess… he’s getting into EVERYTHING. He’s definitely entering his “terrible two’s” a bit ealier! LOL (he’s starting to climb onto things as well – which is a bit dangerous. We can’t keep our eyes off of him for a second!) |

Midst of Updating... I'm posting as time permits... hehehe - I may get interrupted every now and then, so stay tuned for the full entry =)
Thanks for visiting!
<3 D, P and Baby JJ
Sunday: Friday was my last day of work - so I decided to stay up a bit longer and let hubby go to bed early since he had to work the next morning... I went online and surfed the net... I went to bed at around 11pm. At 1:00 in the morning I had to go pee... when I went to wipe I saw some blood on the toilet paper... I decided not to make a huge deal about it and went to bed. At 1:45 I had to go to the bathroom again... this time a bit more blood came out - I went to bed and was afraid to wake up hubby since he was so peaceful in his sleep and he had to work that day... but I knew that if I had any vaginal bleeding I should go to the hospital... (I was afraid to get a false alarm) - so after 10 minutes of debating to myself I woke up hubby and told him that I was bleeding down there... so he told me to wait on my third time to the bathroom to see if there was still some bleeding... so I tried to go back to sleep... at 2:37pm I went to the bathroom again and again there was bleeding... I woke up hubby to take a look (sorta like proof) - and he agreed with me that something was happening... knowing that the beginning of labour lasts a few hours, we decided to wait until 4am to start packing our stuff and go to the hospital... (we needed to stop by my mom's as well because she was to help me out during the delivery, but we both knew my mom gets quite anxious pretty fast, so we didn't want to get her too excited and waited until 430am to call her to get ready to go to hospital). We got to the hospital at 530am. The nurses ran some tests, asked some questions and checked how far my cervix was dilating. At that time I was only at 2cm. They called my OB and asked him if I should be admitted. Dr. Bourke showed up at around 7am and told the nurses to admit me... so at 7:45am I got admitted to the delivery room. My mom and hubby were great coaches... they took turns giving me back rubs and words of encouragement. We watched a bit of TV too.
Monday: The doctor broke my water at 9:45am to get things started... (note: I was determined to have a natural labour - I did not want an epidural at all). Each contraction hurt so much - but each contraction I kept the pain inside and did all the breathing techniques that were taught at prenatal class. It was nice to have mom and hubby giving me back and arm rubs during each contraction as well... the contractions gradually got more painful... but I fought each one... Mom and hubby was hoping that I'd give birth at around 5pm... but when that time came I was only at 5cm dilated. My cervix just wouldn't open... it was quite annoying... I was at the point where I was going to give in and have that epidural. (note: I did scream a few times when I couldn't keep the pain in... and I did yell at hubby 2 times for rubbing me the wrong way... I felt awful afterwards)... so at 530pm the doctor came in to check my cervix and I was at 5.5cm dilated... things didn't look good - baby's cord was wrapped around his shoulder and chest, so each contraction made his heart beat rate go down... so the doctor gave me two options:
1) keep doing the natural labour until the baby is born - but that will another 8-10hrs and the baby will be put in danger due to his heart beat being at risk
2) have an emergency C-Section
At this point I had to let my pride go and opted for option #2. My baby's health was more important... so I signed the papers and the next thing I knew I was being rolled into the C-Section room. I was shaking so much because my nightmare was coming true... hubby was great at giving me words of encouragement and lifting my spirits. I felt NOTHING during the C-Section. The pain that I endured for 12 hours was gone... my whole bottom self was numb... all I felt was pressure when they pushed the baby out... the next thing I heard was a screaming baby and knew it was JJ. I was relieved, happy and anxious. The first thing that I asked was "It's a boy right?" hehehee - and the doctor said "yes you have yourself a healthy happy boy"... JJ was born at 637pm. After the stitching they rolled me into the recovery room where I stayed for 1.5hrs. They also did some tests on JJ... they weighed him (7lbs 6oz), they measured him (19.5 inches), and etc... hubby called his parents in Vietnam and his siblings... my mom wasn't allowed in the C-Section room and waited outside during the whole surgery (luckily at this time my dad came to the hospital to visit - thinking that I'd have the baby by now - so they waited together). Close to 9pm I was back in my private room w/ hubby, mom, dad and baby JJ. I was beyond exhausted!!! I think everyone else was too... so my dad and mom left to go home while hubby tended to the baby and I slept.
Tuesday - Thursday: Due to the C-Section I had to stay at the hospital until Thursday afternoon. Nurses, doctors and lab technicians came in and out to run tests on me and the baby to ensure our health was up to par. Hubby called into work and asked for the same days off so he could help out with me and the baby since I was practically unable to do anything. Monday night I threw up and had massive headaches due to the spinal needle thingie. Everytime I had to breast feed baby JJ I had to throw up water (thank goodness I didn't have anything in my system but water). I felt like I was having the most huge hangover EVER. Tuesday morning I told the nurse about the side affect and she gave me this medication (forget the name) but it was going through my system via IV. It did work though 'cuz after a few hours I was feeling a bit better and was able to keep my water down. By the evening time I was so tired and exhausted from having absolutely NOTHING in my system that I ordered some dinner (all fluid of course 'cuz I was afraid I was going to throw up everything)... luckily that didn't happen though. Baby JJ was such a good boy during our stay at the hospital... all he did was eat, sleep, poop and pee... he only cried when he was hungry or had a dirty diaper. When the nurses/doctors ran tests on him, he just stared at them and let them do their jobs... no crying... even when he had blood tests done on him he didn't even make a sound... when I had to do the blood tests after him I was whining! LOL... Overall, we are both healthy and happy... my incision is virtually invisible - which is great. We finally got to bring baby JJ and myself home on Thursday afternoon... we went straight to my parents house and have been here since. Hubby, myself and baby are staying here for the next 4 weeks... that way there is always someone at home to help me out and help the baby since I'm still in A LOT of pain. I'm taking Tylenol 3 and Motrtin to ease the pain. I finally had a bowel movement yesterday... YIPPIE! hehehee. (yeah I know - TMI).
Neways - that's about it that I can remember - right now the whole labour story is pretty much a blur - an experience in the past that I will NEVER forget.
I have posted some pictures on facebook and will continue to post pictures there of baby JJ and family and friends.... see you there! |

| A little weekend scare |
|
|
| 12:49pm 26/11/2008 |

I can't believe it's Wednesday already - the middle of the work week...
Well as my title states, I had a little "scare" this past weekend.
Friday night was spent at home with hubby. I bought KFC and that made me happy... I got coleslaw, potatoe salad, macaroni salad and 6 pieces of chicken (3 for hubby and 3 for me) and hubby made french fries at home. YUMMY!!!! Of course it was A LOT of food so I didn't eat EVERYTHING... the rest of the night was spent calling relatives in VN (to tell them the news about our baby boy) and watching TV.
Saturday I woke up and spent the morning bugging hubby (one of the things I like to do when I'm bored)... at around noonish my mom called me to go grocery shopping... hubby stayed home to watch soccer (or football). After grocery shopping I had a late lunch with my mom and aunt. Then my mom dropped me off at home. At around 5pm hubby and I drove over to my parents house for dinner... after dinner we played a few games of dominoes... this time we played with points and hubby was so competitive it drove me NUTS! lol... of course he ended up winning first place and I got last place... *rolls eyes*... when we got home it was around 10pm and that's when the "scare" started... I had huge pains in my lower stomach (which I thought was due to the seafood dinner we had at my parents) - so I thought just to sleep it off...
Sunday we woke up to get ready for church. I was still in major pain... I thought it was just gas or my stomach just growing so I ignored the pains... apparently people at church noticed me limping and walking very slowly and asked if I was in pain... my mom worried and told me to go to the hospital - but I didn't want to go (the stubborness in me) so I told my mom that I'd just sleep it off... we had lunch at my mom's house and I rested for a bit... the pain didn't go away and it just worsened... at dinner I couldn't handle the pain anymore - I couldn't even walk - the lower part of my stomach was just aching so I told my mom and dad that I wanted to go to the hospital... so at 6pm we all left to go to MET hospital... We THOUGHT we were supposed to go to the emergency part of the hospital - but apparently we were supposed to go to the front desk of the hospital to get admitted since it was due to pregnancy... my hubby had to wheel chair me outside from emergency to the front desk - it was pretty funny now that I think of it - but anyways... I got admitted at around 630pm. The nurse put a monitor on my to track the baby's heart beat and also another monitor to track my blood pressure. I was told that the doctor was changing shifts so it would until 730PM that the doctor would see me... I was ok with that, but in actuality the doctor came to see me at 845pm!!! The doctor was called into an emergency situation which made the wait longer... during the wait I heard other pregnant women with other problems and there was one woman there who was almost going into labour - she was screaming and shouting and it seriously scared the hell out of me... does it really hurt that much?!?!?! I was already in pain and wanted to die... LOL... Anyways - the doctor FINALLY came and I told him my symptoms (huge pains in my lower abdominal - it comes and goes but I'm to the point where I can't breathe without the pain hurting so much). He then got out the ultrasound monitor to look around (I was really happy at this point 'cuz I got to see my baby again... see his little wee wee too!) He then spotted the problem... I have uterine fibroid (which means I have a muscle tumor inside me - it's non-cancerous which is GREAT NEWS and it just grew too fast due to my increase of estrogen... because my uterus hasn't grown to it's full potential yet, the muscle was pinching the uterus wall which creates the HUGE PAINS I've been experiencing... unfortunately there's nothing they can do for me but for nature to take it's course and for my uterus to grow and for the muscle to shrink so I won't feel the pain... the doctor said it could take up to a week for the pain to go away... in the meantime if the pain gets too unbearable I should take tylenol (apparently tylenol is safe to take during pregnancy)... so with that I went home... I was still in huge amounts of pain and didn't want to take the tylenol (again me being stubborn) so I had about 1hr of sleep that night...
needless to say I was in no shape or form to go to work on Monday so I called in ill... I spent the rest of the day in bed trying to catch up on all the sleep I lost. Hubby was great - he took great care of me.... finally I had to give in to the pain and took one tablet of tylenol at 7pm. The pain didn't go away - but it did lessen the pain that I could walk... I did go to work on Tuesday and I am at work today as well - I'm still in huge pain and I walk like I'm 80 years old... but at least I slept well at night and I'm lucky my work is "desk work" so I just sit and do reports. I sure hope this pain goes away soon though - my cousin's engagement party is this Saturday and I don't really want to miss it... but if I'm still in pain I may have too... BWAH! |

*EDIT - I just realized that I might not be allowed to sell things off of LJ - I may have to research into that further - if worst comes to worst I'll just post on Facebook - I still need to clean out my closet! hehehe*
I decided to do some early winter cleaning in my closet... I want to sell some of my clothes and instead of opening an account on EBay or whatever, I decided to do it through here - whatever I don't sell I'll either give it to my mom (if it fits her) OR give it to the Salvation Army.
Please note:
* All sales are final *
* NO refunds & NO exchanges *
* Cash & money orders ONLY please *
I'd like to sell the clothes to people in my hometown first since delivery will be cheaper (I'll just drop it off at your house or you can pick it up from my house) - but if there's someone out in LJ world that would like to make the better deal then I'll be willing to ship it out to you.
I'll post the clothing item online with a short description (size, colour) - I'll post the opening bid - whoever bids the highest will get that item of clothing (please note that if there are several bids at the same price - the first person to bid at that price gets the item).
I really need to clean out my closet so there'll be quite a bit of items online (ranging from sweaters, t-shirts, tank tops, business suits, dress pants, jeans, purses, accessories, sunglasses and etc...)
Thanks for helping me clean out my closet! =) |

I should be updating on my wedding blog, but the internet connection is terribly slow, so I'll be updating on here...
I will be leaving on my honeymoon within the next few days - we're going to Malaysia for 5 days and 4 nights... I can't wait... the wedding was a total success and it was the most awesome, memorable and loving night of my life! I couldn't ask for anything more. It was a busy and full day but there were TONS of pictures taken so be sure to view lots of pics when I come back.
I just have to say that I am married to the best man in the whole world. I'm truly blessed to have a loving, patient, trustworthy and charming man in my life. It will be sad when I leave him behind and have to wait "x" amount of months until we can meet again - but I will cherish each second we have with each other at this moment.
So, with that note I will bid you all farewell and see you when I'm back in Canada.
LOVE YA'LL
PS. THANKS DONNA FOR ALL THE HELP, SUPPORT AND LOVE YOU HAVE GIVEN ME DURING MY DAYS PREPARING FOR THE WEDDING. I CAN NOT EXPRESS ALL THE GRATITUDE AND LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU... YOU ARE MY GREATEST SISTER THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME. THANK YOU AGAIN |

No weekend rewind for today... the highlight of the weekend was ordering my wedding dress and veil. I'm so glad that you guys think the dress is as lovely as I do! I can't wait to put this baby on!!!! Once I get the dress (June 10th) I'll probably wear it for a full day at home around the house! hahahaa... just like the FRIENDS episode where Monica wore Emily's wedding dress around her apartment. I wanted to make the wedding dress post "public" so that my friends outside of LJ can see it, but unfortunately A has the link to my LJ so he may see it...
All I need to purchase now is my traditional wedding "Ao Dai" for the tea ceremony and the reception dress. Both will be purchased in Vietnam ('cuz it's way cheaper than buying it here) and the amount I spent on the wedding dress itself was more than I planned to spend. I'll post the ao dai that I'm interested in getting.
Other than wedding planning all is pretty normal... vietnamese new years is slowly approaching us so many of my relatives are getting in the festive mood. I on the other hand don't feel all that festive. I am hooking up with Thy this weekend and we're going to go out downtown. My I haven't hit the downtown scene in like MONTHS!!!! Hopefully the weather will be good to us. |

December 30th: My parents 30th Wedding Anniversary party. Woke up late and had breakfast... went to visit my grand uncle for a little bit and chatted with him. Then I decided to go and visit my auntie's for a little bit since I was bored.... My mother and I made an appointment to get our hair done at the local salon at 11am. It was noon when I saw the clock and left to get my hair done. When I got there my mother wasn't there... I was a bit surprised since 3 o'clock was the mass... but I got my hair done first. After 45 minutes into doing my hair my mom showed up.... She wanted to get so many things done.... wash he hair, get her hair done, get her nails done and her makeup and she had 1.5 hours to get it done! hahahaa... I got my hair washed, styled and cut... we just barely made it and ran home to change... we went out to the church and met all of my parents relatives... it was fun... we went into the church to start the ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony where my dad gave my mom a diamond ring and the priest blessed it. I read a reading as well (in vietnamese I might add and I did an AWFUL job! hahahaa... the words I forgot I just mumbled them). After church we took TONS Of pictures with all sorts of people... some people I knew, some people I didn't... I walked to my grand uncle and low and behold who's sitting next to him but "A"... the guy my grand uncle wanted to set me up with... So being a nice girl I smiled and said HI... and then I took a picture of them... but before he could ask me anything I turned and walked away. (I know I'm a Bi**h) Anyways... we were on our way back home to change and I was about to get into the car when my grand uncle calls to me... so I go over and he's like "where are you going?" and I said "oh, I'm going back to the house - I'm taking the car"... he goes "oh, it's such a beautiful day, why don't you walk home - it's close by.... here "A" can walk with you"... me "oh no, that's ok....".... my grand uncle - the match maker - anyways... I didn't want to upset him so I told "A" to come with me in the car... so he did... At the house I went to change and talked to various people... my auntie Diep then pulls me aside and takes me straight to "A" and say - "here, talk to him"... very settle eh? So I talk with him for a while and then my dad's former teacher came up to me and said "oh is this your husband?" and I was like "oh no.... he's just a friend"... and "A" goes "well not now, but maybe in the future"... all this time I was thinking "OH GOSH - YOU ONLY WISH DUDE!"... so I left to go to the restaurant for my parents ceremony with the rest of my family in my uncle's car while everyone else left separately - including "A"... At the restaurant I met up with my relatives and tried to find a seat to sit at... I went from one table to the next... then all of a sudden my grand uncle comes up to me and says "oh can "A" sit with you?" well I didn't want to be rude so I said "Sure"... the reception was fun... I got to read my speech and read my brothers speech where everyone loved it (but of course) and they understood me too! Which was good. We danced, ate a lot and I went to visit all my relatives... it was a fun night but ended pretty early at 11pm. So everyone left and "A" pulled me aside and asked if he could take me out to a cafe shop. I really didn't want to go... but I didn't want to be rude so I said sure. We rode off on his motorbike but I wouldn't hold him. We went to the coffee shop and chatted... at this point I just wasn't interested. He's good looking, tall, handsome and very intellectual but I didn't want to date anyone from Vietnam!!!!!... So I didn't give him any chance. He got a phone call from his cousin saying that everyone was at karaoke and if we wanted to join them. I just didn't want to be with him to give him the wrong impression so I asked him to drive me home instead. When we got home, no one was home - the house was locked... so I had no choice but to go and karaoke... when I got there I saw all familiar faces - all my young relatives drinking, eating and singing, so I got all happy again and sat right next to all of them... I know I was rude to "A" but I just wasn't interested... so I sang, drank a bit... then we ended the night and "A" drove me home... I thanked him for a nice time and went straight inside before he could say anything to me. At this point I thought this would be the last time I would ever see him again.
( anniversary )
December 31st - January 1st: Road trip to Mui Ne (Beach Resort) We woke up early to pack up our stuff. It was my parents, auntie Diep, her husband Uncle Hien, their two kids Phuong and Hoa and I PLUS my uncle Tam going on a small road trip to Mui Ne (Beach Resort). The road trip was a good 3-4 hours... it was exhausting but we found a ver nice resort that was right on the beachside. We ate lunch and rested in the hotel. We then went out to the beach while everyone swam. I had a terrible stomach ache so I didn't swim. I just walked around and watched. We stayed at the beach all day.... we had two rooms... we divided it up from boys and girls. So at night my mom and auntie asked me about "A"... we talked and talked and my auntie told me so many good things about him... that he did student exchange in Japan while schooling and worked there for 3 years... told me about his family life and his current situation. He asked for another date and wanted to know if I was interested. Auntie told me to give him a chance 'cuz he was a good catch - what did I have to lose? So I thought it over and decided to put the guard down and give him a chance.
( Beach Resort )
January 1st: Woke up and stayed at the hotel till 1pm. We then headed back home. At night my Auntie Van had a birthday party - so I went over to her house for the festivities. It's always a fun time with my relatives =) I stayed there till 11pm and went back home to sleep.
January 2nd - January 5th: Back to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
January 2nd: So this was my first date with "A"... I went to get my hair done at the salon and rested a bit since he wasn't picking me up after he was finished work. At 6pm he picked me up and we drove of on his motorbike. This time around I held his waist so that I wouldn't fall off the motorbike. We went to a nice restaurant located downtown Saigon where a lot of tourists go to. We had to wait a bit for a table and when we were taken to our seats "A" grabbed my hand so I could follow him. Since I put my guard down I let him hold my hand... =) Dinner was good and I had a great conversation with him. We then went out to a cafe shop where there was a live show... we got some drinks and chatted some more. We actually had a great time... I couldn't stop laughing the whole night. He was great company and a great guy overall... so when he asked me for another date I said "sure"... we ended the date at 11pm. He kissed me on the cheek and I went to bed stunned that I had a great time...
January 3rd: Got up and went to the salon again to get my hair done. This time around I got my hair dyed and got a permanent straight perm put in and cut... so let's just say my hair appointment lasted 6 hours!!!! It was a grueling LONG ass time... but I eventually got home and got ready for my date. "A" arrived at 5pm this time around and we went out on his motorbike. This time I had no hesitation to wrap my arms around his waist =) We went to eat some dinner at a local restaurant located outside... We then went to see a live show that had funny skits... of course we arrived a little earlier than anticipated. On our way up the elevator to the second floor, "A" snuck a quick kiss on my lips... I was stunned but wasn't mad... We got seated and ordered drinks... we had a great conversation and again the laughter didn't stop. Eventually the show started and we held each other while cracking up every now and then. The night ended at 1115pm and we ended the night with a few more kisses. My mom and auntie stayed up and when they saw me go home they rushed downstairs to see how the date went... of course I didn't give out every single detail... but just the pleasant ones... they were happy... and we went to bed.
January 4th: "A" had to go away on a business trip so I didn't see him - though he called me 3 times the whole day to see how I was doing. I got my teeth whitened so that took up most of the day anyway. At night I met up with my younger aunties and we went out to a nearby coffee shop. We chatted the night away.... ended the night at 11pm and I went home.
January 5th: Left VN at 12 midnight
This was my last day in VN. SO FREAKIN SAD!!!!!.... So I got up and finished packing all my things up in my luggage. I had breakfast and brought my luggage down so we could weigh it... At 10am "A" came over... (I wasn't suppose to see him until I went out the airport 'cuz he had meetings all day)... apparently he called in sick so he could spend the last day with me... aaawwww... so I went to get my hair done first and then we went out to a nearby coffee shop (the same one we went to on my parents anniversary day)... we had a HUGE talk about our "situation"... we both said that we liked each other and decided to try this relationship thing out - even though we knew how long distance it would be... LIKE LONG LONG DISTANCE... 'cuz it's either try it out and keep in touch or not try it out and cut all ties... we didn't want to cut ties... it was just getting good... so we talked about when I would visit again and since our situation was a bit "special" if marriage would be in the future for us. I won't get into details since it's between "A" and I... but let's just say things are good =) We then went back to my auntie's 'cuz he had to stop by his company for a little bit and go home and change. At 3pm he picked me up and we went out to a very romantic cafe shop and enjoyed each other's company. He got me a gift and told me how much he loved me. Unfortunately I couldn't return his words of love and left him hanging. I mean, why say it if I'm not feeling it at that moment right?... so we just held each other and I cried a bit... I know I'm an emotional fool. We then went back to my auntie's and visited random people to let them know that we were a couple and going to try this "thing" out. At 9pm we went out to the airport... I didn't cry at all - I forced myself not to cry... not in front of all the people. At 1030 I went to the gates and got ready to board. "A" walked me to the door and I turned around and hugged him and kissed him and whispered "I love you too...." and turned around and walked away... (on my gosh I'm crying as I'm typing this part... so sappy)... It was the LONGEST flight EVER... I miss all my relatives, I miss VN and I miss "A". |
